Coot Grant Deceiving Man Blues Lyrics

Deceiving Man Blues Lyrics

Try once, and you don't succeed, 

Try, try, once again, 

I've tried
so hard to love that deceiving man of mine, 

But now I'm nearly to the
end. 

And I'm mournin' like a mournin' dove, 

From now on, this is
who I love: 



I love my sister, I love my brother, 

I love my
father, I love my mother, 

But deceiving man, your baby sure don't love
you! 

I like everything about you, don't like the way you do! 



I'm broken-hearted, since we parted, 

And I'm leavin' and I'm
grievin', 

I wonder what in the world have you done to me. 

I'm
moanin' and I'm groanin', weeping like a willow tree. 



You call me
honey, you take my money, 

And acted funny, 

And mistreated me! 

You said if I didn't like it, honey, what I could do. 

Deceiving man,
your baby is all through with you! 



You cheated on me, you beated
on me, 

You treated me mean, 

As you could. 

Deceiving man,
you don't mean me no good. 

You better watch your step; you too old to do
the things you should. 



I'm cryin', you've been lyin', 

Said
you loved me, 

When I turned your head. 

Said if I didn't like it,
I know what I could do. 

I don't wish you no bad luck, but I wish that
you were dead!
